How to Start Couponing....General Rules

The Rules:

• coupons must have a canadian mailing address on them. They will not be accepted if it has a US address.
• Coupons must not be expired
• typically, You may only use ONE coupon per item....there is exceptions to this rule :o) ... Stay tuned!
• Internet "printed" coupons are not accepted everywhere. It is best to ask each store that you go to if they accept them or not before you shop. 
• If you are printing your own from the internet, some stores will ask that they are printed in color. If they are smudged, obviously photocopied, or expired they will not be accepted.
• In Golden, Overwaitea, Fields & the big drugstore all accept printed coupons - Sobeys does not...
• Each store interpret the statements on the coupons differently..."one coupon per purchase" may or may not be the same as "one coupon per transaction"....yes..confusing...if you are buying multiple of the same item with multiple coupons...with these statements, the cashier may ask you to pay for them each one at a time......"one coupon per item" is pretty clear.

 Start by signing up to the following sites. These sites are legit, and will mail you coupons 7-10 days from ordering them. They are all manufacturers coupons.  You will need to re-visit the sites that you sign up for to order more coupons. They will not be sent automatically when new coupons appear. I will generally check each site once a week. www.gocoupons.ca will allow you to re-order all the coupons they offer each week.

Collect tear pad coupons from the stores. These are also manufactures coupons. If they are not store specific, they will be good everywhere!  http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_102416039836477&ap=1  This is my Facebook group "Canadian Coupons". Whenever a printable or new coupon is found it is usually posted on this page by whom ever found it.
